[Healeys] cold starting

when the car has been sitting for a few days I have trouble starting it.

what happens with full choke is that it has to turn over a half dozen times
before it catches and then starts up with missing and hissing and hickuping as
if it isn't getting enough fuel.

sometimes I can overcome this by flooding the front carb

the engine is BJ-8 with recently installed petronix (did it before) and a fuel
filter up front with adjusted 3.5 lbs pressure. Have checked and fuel bowls
are full.

Once fully firing everything is fine.
